Directory: Mobile Device Management vendors in Australia

ZDNet's Australian directory of mobile device management (MDM) vendors has market, product, and contact information on companies that provide MDM products and services.
Written by ZDNet Australia team , Contributor

When it comes to implementing a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policy, you could go laissez-faire and see what happens, or you could engage a vendor to provide a mobile device management (MDM) suite. The vendors range from companies with their own handsets to the usual suspects of the software services world to companies focusing solely on MDM.

This is not a paid listing, nor is it an exhaustive list; it's an alphabetic glossary of vendors that provide MDM solutions. Vendors listed below all have some form of presence in Australia.
